007: ORION

🌌 Scroll 007: Orion — The Hunter Between Worlds

“He walks where mortal ground meets the infinite sky, carrying the memory of every arrow loosed toward destiny.”

⚖ Archetype: The Hunter

Orion is the eternal seeker — the one who follows the trail not because it is easy, but because the quarry is worth the endless night. In him lives the restless pulse of pursuit, the joy of skill, and the pride of knowing the constellations themselves bear his name.

🌠 Origin Lore / Mythic Scene

Under the velvet canopy of ancient Greece, Orion’s figure first took shape in whispered stories around firelit feasts. He was a giant, a marksman, and a wanderer — the son of Poseidon’s tide and the earth’s steadfast grace.

Above us, his belt of three bright stars cuts a perfect line across winter skies, guiding sailors through storms and shepherds through frostbitten fields. Each star in his form burns as a trophy of a hunt completed, a promise kept, or a challenge answered.

And yet, there is tragedy in his glow — for the hunter became the hunted, struck down not by mortal hand, but by the venom of the scorpion that still chases him across the heavens. Even now, their eternal dance is etched into the cosmos, a reminder that pursuit and peril are often bound together.
